Sleep regression?!

My baby was pretty much sleeping through the night and would wake up around 5:00-6:00am up until he was 4 months and for whatever reason he’s back to his “newborn” schedule and wakes up TWICE again. He’ll be up around 1-2am for a feed and again at 4-5am. Anyone else experiencing this? Is this normal? I’m so tired and exhausted considering I’m back at work unlike when he was a newborn.

He’s 5.5 months, btw.

Yup! My son woke me up at 5 this morning & didn’t go back to sleep until 8

Ugh same here, my lo is staying up till 10ish then getting up to eat at 2-3 and again at 5-6 and naps are alot harder now since she's figured out how to roll over 🙃

ny baby goes back to sleep within 10-15mins or however long it takes him for the bottle, thankfully, I feel for you 🥹.

my baby isn’t rolling yet 🥲. He just goes to side lying at best.

I went through a similar situation. My baby went from only waking up once to 3-4 times a night, I would nurse him thinking he was hungry but I think that made it worse. He wouldn’t eat much and then would fall asleep. So I started doing a dream feed at 10pm and now he is back to only waking at 5am

My LO every feed. Drs don’t seem to think it’s a problem the whole Muslim cloth gets soaked so much I’m using towels now. I’ve tried size O teats he gets really frustrated and still spills it out :(

8 week immunisations

My 8 week old has his first set of injections tomorrow and I’m abit nervous. Does anyone have any advice for after the jabs? I know they get a temp after so have got some calpol to give just before hand. Should I put him to bed in less clothing to make sure he doesn’t get too hot? Any tips from your experience with first set of immunisations? Am I worrying more than I need to? 😅

11 month old constantly standing in cot

Please tell me someone has some advice for this cause wow it’s trying. My almost 11 month old is fully on the move now and his new favourite thing is repeatedly pulling to stand in his cot. The problem is that he wears a sleep sack (mainly so his legs don’t get stuck between the bars tbh lol) so he’s not stable enough to lower himself down. So earlier he fell backwards and hit is head and now we feel like we can’t just leave him to it. Typically it’s his first full day at nursery tomorrow and my first day back at work IT’S LIKE HE KNOWS!!
Please tell me someone has some tips. Currently we are quietly placing him back on his back every time but he just keeps doing it! 🤣🤡

My seven year old

Is out of control. Her dad and I share 50/50 and when she comes to my house she is so mean. And idk what to do

Took 9 week old to a family party where there was loud music and she was next to the speaker for most of the time (about 3 hours). She slept through most of it. Do you think she has hearing loss from this?

Freaking out right now :(

Struggling in the 4 month regression

How are people getting out of the 4 month regression? I’ve been looking it up and it says I need to be trying to put him down drowsy but awake but this does not work for my LO. Every time we do this he ends up being wide awake and after almost an hour of trying we have to contact nap/rock to sleep. I want to avoid rocking to sleep because now when he wakes up in the night he needs to be rocked back to sleep which he never used to need.

Nights are constantly broken because we are up 2-3 times to rock him back to sleep. Please give me your tips on how to survive this and how to get out of this!! Constantly feel like I’m failing and doing something wrong
